Don't Work for Others All Your Life

Probably the thing that sucks the most about not having enough money to quit working for someone else is...working with people. Why? Because up until the point you met them at work, all of your co-workers were total strangers, complete unknowns. Even after working with them for a while, you'll still know very little about them. Of course, some work places are more close and family-like, but hey! if you don't fit into their family, you're just not in the family, and probably should look for work elsewhere. I always wondered at employers who try to "foster a welcoming environment", and also speak of their hired help as "family".
